Yup, this is the last night of Pork-a-polooza. I know, it’s sad but all good things eventually do come to an end. We had a great time while we were here. The sunny weather was great, the wintery weather was great, the green, the sea, the whole thing – awesome. We tried to empty out […]

You may remember that I mentioned it was a bit cold today. Well I kid you not – it started snowing this afternoon and it was awesome! Sydney had a great time even tho it was just a little flurry. Pics below.

After having as much fun as we did yesterday at the archaeological site we decided to brave the cold today and visit the Tombs of the Kings. Also designated as a World Heritage Site this area was never the final resting place for actual royalty but may have been a cemetery for influential local citizens. […]

Down at the end of the harbor was the rather large entrance to the Paphos archaeological dig site. This site has been a UNESCO designated World Heritage Site since 1980. The area has been inhabited since neolithic times but most of the ruins are from the Roman era circa 2 to 4 AD. We were […]

After we finished our shopping expedition to the City Market it started to rain on us a little. We hid out in the local Carrefour since we needed to pick up some water and dish soap and sure enough that did the trick. By the time we were done the sun was starting to poke […]

So despite the continuing rain we decided that we would brave the weather and see what we could find to do indoors. Sydney had wanted to go down to the City Market and do some shopping so that was first on the list. The rain had even stopped and looked like it was burning off […]

So it seems that the real estate brochures around here claim that Cyprus gets less than two weeks of rain a year – every other day is all sun. For the most part that’s been true of our stay – it seems though, that we may have caught a few days of the rainy season. […]

So its seems that the English have a somewhat equivalent meal to what we would consider Sunday dinner – they just do theirs at lunch time. Or you could think of it as the after church buffet. Anyways, the club here in the village does a Sunday Lunch that we were told not to miss. […]

It seems that Sydney’s culinary empire has expanded to Cyprus and we were invited to a private showing of the newest cafe. It was a sunset dinner in the courtyard and word has it that Sydney flew in to set the stage herself! Thinks started with a nice blush wine and a fairly traditional antipasti. The […]

So today Sydney wanted to do some exploring around the neighborhood. Having barely surmounted a few of the hills in the Toyota I was a little weary about the idea but we all got pulled together and marched up the street. It was a little hilly. But nonetheless we hiked up the road a bit. […]

All About The G’s

So we’ve been living here in Kuwait for several years now. As far as expats go around Kuwait we’re your oldies but goodies. We used to have no idea how they did it when we ran into people who said they’d been here five plus years and now we’ve been almost three times that long ourselves.
